Programme context
The Pro PALOP-TL SAI Programme (Phase II) followed on from the Pro PALOP-TL SAI Project (Phase I), implemented between 2014 and 2017. Building on the success of the previous project, it aimed to improve economic governance in the PALOP-TL countries, with the specific objective of improving the PALOP-TL countries' performance in public finances: accountability, effectiveness and transparency. This second phase had a total estimated budget, based on the EUR/USD exchange rate in force at the time of its approval, of USD 9,261,016 financed by the 11th EDF and co-financed by UNDP.
Scope and objectives of the evaluation
The evaluation covered all the activities in all the member countries and the entire implementation period of the Programme, from November 2018 to May 2023, and was carried out with the aim of identifying weaknesses and strengths in the design and implementation strategy, assessing the suitability, efficiency and effectiveness of its implementation, as well as the results and achievements of the programme to date and, in this way, making recommendations for any necessary changes in the overall design and direction of future initiatives.
